#WHAS100 classic interviews 🍕 “Papa John” Schnatter alternately begs for forgiveness while accusing others of setting up his downfall, July 2018
Papa John's Pizza founder John Schnatter used the n-word during a 2018 training call with an agency hired to teach him acceptable communication techniques. Schnatter claimed that Colonel Sanders routinely said n***** without repercussions. Within days, Schnatter's racist reference sent his career into a free fall. He called me and asked "Do you want to interview me?" I told him that there could be no limitations on the subject matter and that I needed 15 minutes to get to a WHAS Radio studio to record it. Schnatter agreed to the terms. The conversation lasted 28 minutes even though Schnatter attempted to end it earlier. It made national news when Schnatter's reluctant apology leaked into defiance and blaming others for coercing him to say

The Clydesdales win with everyone else playing for second
A Clydesdale. A horse farm. A prodigal son runs to daddy. I'm not crying. You're crying. Budweiser still delivers the best of the best in Super Bowl commercials. That 2013 baby Clydesdale storyline is tough to top. Lots of other advertisers vie to generate amplified attention through clever ads placed in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl. Walter the Cat is America's newest commercial star. The amazingly hardy cat stuns onlookers while his Chevy truck owner daddy can't understand why people are so intrigued. The guy just wants people to notice his tricked out truck. Chevy's Walter the Cat series is a hit. Here's the newest one. Enjoy this delightful assortment of clever messaging. Definitely some more talent here. For background, let's visit with

Jack “Goose” Givens reflects on his mom’s fears as he was recruited to play basketball for Kentucky in the 1970s
University of Kentucky All-American Jack "Goose" Givens, who also played in the NBA and eventually transitioned to sports broadcasting, joined me on 840WHAS for a wide-ranging interview. We are both self-proclaimed nerds who attended UK at the same time. We dove into his recruitment by Kentucky and the racial challenges it posed for him and his mother. Givens grew up in Lexington where he "never thought I'd have a chance to play" for the Wildcats. Jack also discussed the intensity of playing for a hard-boiled coach in Joe B Hall, and how their relationship changed after Hall sought Givens' advice during his broadcast years. Givens led the 1978 Kentucky Wildcats to an NCAA National Championship, scoring 41 points in the Cats defeat
